Some Nice Smells
Being a wolf I'm quite used to using my olfactory sense. So here is a list of smells that this lil wolf likes:
1) New upholstery and carpet
2) Petrol and benzene
3) Freshly baked bread
4) Crisp springtime dew (or indeed any grass after it has just been raining)
5) Bacon frying
6) Fish being battered in a fish and chip shop

6,5 and 3 are obvious
4 "crisp"
2 can be used to provide fire for cooking foods
1...errm..Car..pet..car..drivethru..food >.>
naa, 'm jus' messing, i have a few fav smells myself, i will have to agree with number 1 but a fairly random one is a type of tropical sun tan lotion.
*weird*

Freshly grown skunk is okay but a little too pungeant for me really. I agree with you about baked sponge buns though, that was one I'd completely forgotten. The smell of a baking cake has got to be another one of mine.

I've never cooked food on petrol before although I suppose it could be used as a heat source. I would have thought it's probably a little too dangerous though.
God number one is tenuous although I was thinking of new car smell specifically. Very tenuous - you're going to have to try better than that :-P
Suntan lotion can smell quite nice but I don't think I've tried the tropical one. How's it any different? Does it protect you in the tropics?

I also like sap, like pine trees/christmas trees in the woods.
AND bonfire night smells, ie burning wood/burning smells in the cold night air.
AND fresh strawberries in their plastic container which has just a few holes in, now if its in a chiller area like at CostCo... put your nose up to that and sniff... almost makes me orgasm, seriously!

I was thinking fireworks after greyscar's comments - I agree that the smell of a freshly spent firework is amazing too. Combine the wood burning smell with cooking sizzling sausages and I agree with that one too.
Fresh strawberries are a definite :-)

1) Yes its defiantly a nice smell, but not forever.
2) God...why? I hate the smell of petrol fumes. *Coughs!*
3) Lovely, one of my favourites, the supermarkets in the USA don't have bakeries. *Sobs*
4) Natural smells are generally very nice, except for a select few such as methane. XD
5) Hmmm...bacon...
6) Perhaps, not a big fan of fish, change that to fries being made cooked for me. ^^

2) I like the faint whiff of petrol you get at a petrol station - I certainly couldn't snort the stuff or anything like that. Sometimes it's fun to stand near a car exhaust though as it's running to try and catch the smell.
3) Supermarkets in America are generally homogenated - everything's done off-site and then sent to the store. I think the Americans often go for convenience above quality - a lot of the food in the supermarkets there was poor compared to those in Britain. I may be wrong though. I prefer independent bakeries to supermarkets anyway mind, but at least supermarkets in Britain (Morrisons is a prime example) have their own bakeries, fishmongers etc.
4) Too true about methane and I agree with you about most natural smells. Hey, I'm a wolf!
5) I like the smell of bacon more than the taste. I'm vegetarian anyway but in my meat-eating days I was never really a big fan of bacon.
6) I agree with you on fries too - although not the thin McDonald's type - nice thick chunky fries are better.

The comic's author often includes interesting tidbits of information, trivia and physics (and other things) in his annotations (in fact, he's got a Ph.D. in physics), and the site has interesting polls that change regularly, too (and the results, when posted, often include interesting comments from the author, as well).
The comic itself has a variety of themes; most are done with LEGO pieces, while others use fantasy game miniatures (there's also one about superheroes that's actually drawn by an outside artist, but it only appears very rarely, and fortunately so - it's about the only theme I don't like). There's occasional crossovers between the themes, too. :)
I can't recommend this comic highly enough really. :) I personally follow the
If you want to check it out, I highly recommend reading the entire comic from the start when you've got a couple of hours to spare on a weekend or so. :) It'll have you in stitches many times, and you'll keep coming back for more. ^^
If you haven't got the time for that, I still recommend following the feed and checking out the daily strip and annotations (if any) and the polls (changing every couple of days), at least. :)

I like the lego-man stuff. It's lazy but it's to great affect. I love how the internet is a treasure-trove of pointless shit. It's so amusing - I tend to find the more random and twisted the better.
I'll have a look around the site somemore - thanks for alerting me to it *hugs*

It's a great effect though - I'm very impressed :)

Having said that wanting to draw and wanting to play the guitar are my next two wishes. I should act on them soon methinks.

So is snuffing petrol and benzene. But that's a whole other issue and very chavy
no subject
I like the faint whiff of petrol and benzene at a petrol station but would feel ill if it was there for longer than a few seconds. I certainly could never sniff it or anything.

That brand new computer smell that lasts about two days after you brought it.
That fresh type smell you get after a heavy rain fall.
Frying bacon and fish and chips.
and that green radox shower gel you get from Tescos ;)
no subject
Those silver bags that computer chips come in - the smell of the insde of them is divine. Completely agree with you about new computers and also photocopier smell - acetone is a really sweet smell too. Wonder if they are linked?
Radox shower gel, hmm, I'm cheap and stick to Lidl's own. It gives a nice foam hehe.

Phenol is an alcohol yes...hmm an alcohol with a benzene ring attached. So you can drink yourself to death quite literally. Marvellous!
